Maria turned around and started to walked to the door. She can't take it anymore!

Where was he, when she needed him the most?

She felt a warm body engulfed her. Tobias was hugging her, she tried to escape from his embrace.

"let me go!"

she was so mad at him right now.

"please, just listen to me. I never wanted it."

he never let go, while pleading at her.

"you never what? I'm not fool enough to acknowledged your foolishness! Now, let me go!"

she shouted, Tobias never listened to her. She bit his arm, hard.

Tobias who was caught off guard, loosened his grip from her. Maria took that opportunity to ran to the door without looking back.

She never saw the tears escaped from Tobias' eyes.

Maria locked herself on her room. She never leave her house for 5 days. She felt her eyes sore.

She took the mirror on her bedside table and saw her face, especially her eyes. It looked like asmall ball that's been sliced by two. She can't clearly see her reflection on the mirror because it was blocked by her swollen eyelids.

Maria think of it again, and it hurt her badly. She doesn't want to see his face anymore.

She decided to resign. She already did her resignation letter. Maybe, she will hand it to him after her eyes came back to its normal size.

On The Chiu GaAS, everyone was in chaos. They don't want to pissed their boss. He was being liked that for 5 days!

He was like Hitler, if you did something that he didn't like, you better pray because you will be fired.

The same on the boardroom, everything they said would be disagreed by Tobias. It seemed that he was not contented on their work.

They'd observed that his secretary was not with him. Had he fired her already?

Or was she the reason why he's acting like this?

Tobias saw the faces of his subordinates,

'be like that, you should feel what I feel too.'

He thought to himself. He may sound like a sadist but he can't helped it.

He wanted to go to his Iya, but he can't. He knew that she wasmad at him. He regretted his actions, maybe he should never tell her the truth, that way he can kept her within his reach.

But, he can't bear to think that Maria will hate him even more if he kept the truth from her. It's better this way.

He suddenly stood up, he wanted to see her!

"meeting adjourned"

He said casually then he walked out.

The people inside the boardroom wanted to celebrate because of his words. They sighed in so much relief.

Maria just finished bathing. She was blow drying her hair. She put on a blue denim pants and a black tee shirt. On her feet was a Nike black shoes. Maria tied her hair in a messy bun.

She decided to give her resignation letter, but her decision changed, she doesn't want to see his face. So, she decided to give it to Melody and asked her if she can give it to Tobias.

Maria was currently eating her breakfast when the doorbell rang. She was curios to who it was.

The doorbell kept on ringing.

'Dang! Is the one out there in a hurry? He/she should've came here at dawn!'

she thought irritatedly.

She fastened her pace and opened the door. She was ready to nagged to the owner of that itchy fingers, but she was stunned to who it was!
